Electronic Medical Record EMR

On March 14, 2025, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 07/CT-TTg on “Strengthening the implementation of the National Digital Transformation Project for developing and applying population data, electronic identification, and authentication for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” Accordingly, the Ministry of Health has been tasked with directing 100% of hospitals and clinics across the country to complete the deployment of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) by September 2025.

Digitizing medical records not only meets the requirements for centralized and transparent management but also lays the foundation for improving the quality of care, optimizing resources, and minimizing clinical errors. In response to this urgent need, Nencer Software introduces NENCER EMR—a comprehensive electronic medical record solution designed with a modern architecture, high security, and strict compliance with Ministry of Health regulations.

What Is an Electronic Medical Record?

An Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is a system for storing, managing, and sharing patient health information in digital form: medical history, laboratory results, diagnostic images, prescriptions, and treatment plans. Unlike traditional paper records, EMRs allow instant access, reduce manual data-entry errors, and ensure interoperability and transparency throughout the care process.

Standards as Required by the Ministry of Health

EMR records must fully comply with the forms prescribed in Circular 32/2023/TT-BYT, including:

  • Patient identification information (unique ID, personal details, medical history)

  • Examination and treatment process (symptoms, clinical test orders, treatment outcomes)

  • Related documents (laboratory reports, medical images, surgical records…)

  • Support for automated record creation (synchronized from LIS, PACS) or manual entry, with detailed audit trails of edits.

  • API Integration from HIS. NENCER EMR provides standardized APIs for connecting EMR with Hospital Information Systems (HIS), enabling synchronization of medical records, lookup of results, and secure data sharing between systems.

Applications of Electronic Medical Records in Healthcare

EMRs are not only storage tools but also provide diverse applications across healthcare fields, contributing to improved service quality and treatment efficacy:

  • Clinical care: Physicians can easily access a patient’s record, monitor disease progression, and develop appropriate treatment plans. EMRs also improve the accuracy of prescribing, ordering tests, and interpreting diagnostic images.

  • Record management: Medical records are centrally stored, simplifying data retrieval, reporting, and analysis. Patient data in EMRs is highly secure and protected.

  • Scientific research: EMR data can be used to study diseases, treatment methods, and drug efficacy. Moreover, EMRs facilitate collaborative research among healthcare institutions via standardized connectivity APIs.

  • Telemedicine: Patients can use EMRs to communicate with doctors, schedule appointments, and receive online consultations. Physicians can access records remotely to advise and monitor patient health effectively.

Key Benefits of EMR

  1. Save time and costs on printing, copying, and storing paper records
    Instead of searching through archives, doctors can access patient information online instantly, saving time and effort. EMRs reduce errors in copying and filing, ensuring record accuracy.

  2. Improve management and treatment efficiency
    EMRs connected to HIS via APIs provide centralized data storage, making retrieval, reporting, and analysis straightforward. This leads to more accurate monitoring of disease progression, prescribing, and diagnostic decisions.

  3. Easy access and information sharing
    EMRs allow access to patient data from various devices, regardless of time or location. Healthcare facilities, doctors, and patients can view records, track disease progression, and update treatment plans collaboratively.

NENCER EMR Software

NENCER EMR, developed by Nencer Software, is one of the most popular EMR systems today. It offers advanced features for storing and managing EMRs, enabling healthcare professionals to access and update patient information with ease. NENCER EMR also supports integration of EMR data from multiple sources, ensuring data accuracy and completeness.
